Benchmark for deduction - life insurance policy

I advise consumers to look at the benefit illustration for a whole life or investment-linked policy and check that the effect of deduction does not exceed 20% of the accumulated premium at the end of 25 years. This article explains why I chose 25 years as a gauge and how I derive the benchmark of 20%. It also give the benchmark for other durations. It is the SECRET that many consumers are looking for.
